The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) recently issued an interim final rule delaying compliance deadlines for a second time for its small business lending data collection rule, which amended Regulation B pursuant to Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act. The interim final rule extends compliance deadlines for the small business lending rule by roughly one year across all origination tiers. The CFPB states in the interim final rule that “this length of time should be sufficient to extend beyond the court-ordered stays and for the CFPB to issue a new proposal to reconsider certain aspects of the 2023 final rule.” It remains to be seen what a final rule will look like and when it may be issued.
